building the thanks file on 1.x currently works like this:
1. take content from THANKS.in and pipe it into the THANKS file
2. get committer list from date of their contribution and add it to the
THANKS file
(see https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/1.6.x/bootstrap#L57-63)
the thanks file was never ordered alphabetically and i don't see why it
should be.
what would be the improvement?
